I hear this a lot. Thing is though, most (slightly more than half) of your charges are tax. Hence the funding for shuttle diplomacy and all. The rest is money to couch potato organizations, erb being the largest. And of course kengen needs to make profits, as do kplc and some upstream providers. Between all these and some crazy government officials getting brown envelopes to facilitate some so called green companies to sell us expensive electricity, to say we are screwed is an understatement.
